This is such a fantastic album, and well worth buying. The packaging alone is amazing 
I think next year will be a great year for Marc, celebrating his 30 years of recording. Anyone tempted by the German tour...

11 March 2010 - Docks, Hamburg, Germany

Did Berlin and Hamburg this year (fantastic shows), so I think Munchen is calling...

Duisburg it is. Though that's not a city I'd recommend seeing.
Great to see Marc touring Germany again so soon.
Will he be a special guest for Tibet's birthday bashes in NYC or London though, I wonder - March, too, 5th? |

I wonder when we'll get an idea of dates for the C93 shows? Hopefully in plenty of time.......

A fantastic show in Birmingham last nite with Marc, Dee and band. The first nite of the mini-tour, so a few cock-ups and strops along the way... but that is what makes a Marc show Loved every moment....
Here's a wonderful version of A Skein of White Cranes with Dee...

and Trials of Eyeliner... how brilliant are these lyrics

Can't wait for The Roundhouse now... then Leeds.

Back from Berlin ! The Marc Almond’s gig at Admiralspalast was fabulous ! First time ever I saw him on stage and I wasn’t disapointed.
I was especially touched by his interpretation in english of french songs : Brel and Aznavour ! Brillant !
But the best part was when Michael Cashmore  came on stage and play the guitar for "Gabriel" and another song. Casmore’s classic guitar and Almond’s voice live together was indescribable. The cd "Gabriel and The Lunatic Lover" is beautiful, but the songs live are even more.
Well, two hours and a great show.
I was just surprised that during the show people get up and go out to the bar ! So noisy!  |

Glad you had a great time Icy.... why aren't I surprised I was at the Munich show and it was heaven..... a superb set-list. But I would have so loved to have been in Berlin too, to see the tracks with Michael Cashmore.
Here's my vid of Sleaze / Walk on the Wild Side from Munich...

For any Brel fans, Marc will be hosting a three part series on Jacques Brel on BBC Radio 2 to
be broadcast on 16, 23 and 30 March at 11.30pm (UK time).
Details are as follows:
| Quote: | BEHIND THE BREL: THE STORY OF A MUSICAL GENIUS
16, 23 and 30 March at 11.30pm on BBC Radio 2 and via the BBC iplayer for 7 days after broadcast
In Behind The Brel: The Story of a Musical Genius, Marc Almond invites Radio 2 listeners to explore the music and unconventional life of one of France's most revered singer-songwriters; Jacques Brel.
Largely unknown in the English speaking world (mainly due to him singing in French), Jacques Brel is considered one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century whose lyrical content is poetically introspective and delivered with an honesty few could deny.
Tackling subjects such as love, death and social issues, Brel's music has been translated by artists such as David Bowie, Scott Walker, Shirley Bassey, Joan Baez, Barbra Streisand, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Rod McKuen, Terry Jacks, Nirvana and Vera Lynn.
Brel songs which became major hits in the English-speaking world include Ne Me Quitte Pas (If You Go Away), Seasons in the Sun, Jacky and Amsterdam. In this three part series, Marc Almond will investigate why some Brel songs translated well and others didn't.
In the 1950's French society was heavily influenced by the philosophy espoused in Jean-Paul Sarte's Existentialism and Humanism and Marc will examine how this had a direct impact on Brel's song-writing and unconventional lifestyle.
Dubbed 'the eternal adolescent' we will hear how Brel lived alone in Paris, despite having a wife and three children in his home town of Brussels, in order to preserve his 'artistic inspiration'. A man incapable of living a ‘pipe and slippers' life-style, we'll discover how his sense of freedom was so strong he attempted to circumnavigate the globe on a sail boat after sensationally quitting singing whilst at the peak of his career.
Contributors include Rod Mckuen who made If You Go Away famous, his daughter France Brel, the Irish singer Gavin Friday, Camille O'Sullivan, Momus, opera singer Toby Spence, Peter Straker, translator Paul Buck, Robb Johnson, actress Elly Stone and Jean-Michel Boris from the Paris Olympia where Brel performed his last concert.
Throughout the series, Marc Almond gives his own thoughts on Brel's songs including Jacky and Amsterdam.
Part 1 - 16 March at 11.30pm on BBC Radio 2 is an introduction to Brel with a special look at Ne Me Quitte Pas.
Part 2 - 23 March at 11.30pm on BBC Radio 2 examines the darker side of Brel and his interest in songs about death and war.
Part 3 - 30 March at 11.30pm on BBC Radio 2 looks at Brel's unconventional lifestyle, how he sensationally quit live singing at the height of his career and his lasting legacy.

Bummer about him not guesting with c93, would have been lovely, even if it's been done before (some things you can NEVER get enough of, right?)
Is anyone on here able to rip the Brel radio programme hosted by Marc on BBC2 radio??? |
